EUTROPHICATION INTRODUCTION Eutrophication is the enrichment of water with nutrient That means the water contain excess nutrient and cause to induce the growth of the phytoplankton and algae There have two type of Eutrophication which are Natural Eutrophication and Anthropogenic Eutrophication Natural Eutrophication is the process which the nutrient release from plant such as flower tree and so on This often happen in lake or pond Anthropogenic Eutrophication is the process that will increase the nutrient level in water rapidly which is caused by human s activities For example farming The main difference between Natural Eutrophication and Anthropogenic Eutrophication is the natural process is slower than the anthropogenic Therefore the main factor that causes the eutrophication is human activities EFFECT The fertiliser that the human use in farming contains nitrogen N and phosphorus P This two component will increase the nutrient level in water and cause the growth of the phytoplankton and algae increase Farmer use too much of fertiliser in their farming as they want to sell the crops in good price and get their income early
